To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, W ILSON E. RIALs, of Loreauville, in the parish of Iberia and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and Improved Medical Compound, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of compounds used as remedies for throat and lung diseases, and is composed of honey, sixty-five parts, mistletoe from white oak, fifteen parts; inullein, ten parts; pleurisy-root, five parts; and steel-dust, five parts.

For all throat and lung diseases, especially for consumption, this compound is well adapted to secure a relief and promote a cure.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat- \VILSON ELIJAH RIALS.
